“Full-stack” always seems to raise my eyebrows.

In my experience, people claiming to be a “full-stack dev” meant they were either a talented backend dev with some frontend experience, or a frontend dev wizard with a little backend experience; “super skilled” with A and “only know enough to be dangerous” with B. 🤨

I’m sure there are true full-stack dev unicorns that exist out there, I’ve just never met one, yet see the term used everywhere. 🤷‍♂️

On the flip-side, with JavaScript being used for both frontend and backend solutions these days, perhaps that term is genuinely becoming more accessible and even correct? 🤔

After all, change is constant 🙃
